Are you talking about on the F6 device utility, you show 6 on the device, but can only select 1 thru 4 on the switcher?

yes when the device is plugged into a computer and the software is open it shows 6 tunes that are all registered and good and the switcher will only let you scroll to 4 and stops. You can switch around the tunes on the program and they will work but you cant access all 6 just the 4 it will scroll through

So even with all 6 tunes written to the device as "Write All" from the local PC and show then on the device, you can only use the switcher to select up to position #4, I would call DP.

before calling - look on their website for install instructions. I while ago I upgraded from 5 tunes to 6 and my switch only recognized 5. I forget the protocol, but I am sure Jody has it in his instructions.

Good job Tugly(Rich?) I knew there had to be something with the F6 similar to the format of a TS chip, tried to Rep, have to spread it some though.

133 to 160 miles on the 3/4 tank mark (a little over 8 gallons used on my gauge) with the 80e, depending on driving conditions. I fuel up on 25 gallons at the 1/4 mark. 200 kilometers per 1/4 tank? No prob there.

I have this tune, realistically, what is so "economy" about 80 extra horsepower. Is there that much difference that I should be driving in 80E mode instead of stock?

CC at 75 on I-5? Not much to report here. Going to Packwood for huckleberries? Getting past that slow semi is no big deal in 80e. Drive over White Pass? Cooler EGTs, better acceleration up the hill after a corner, and better shifts to help the life of the transmission.
